Tim Society Women Earn Twenty Cents an Hour in Button Factory "We're ihort on buttons," an nounced Mrs. Eva Wallace at Salva tion Army headquarters Thursday aft ernoon. There was consternation among the. workers. "Did anyone ever known of a campaign that didn't run short of buttons in the rush hour?" someone asked. There was only one thing to do, Mrs. Wallace called the button fac tory on the telephone. ,'We're short of buttonswhat? You're short of help?" Deeper con sternation at hearquarters. Inquiry brought forth the fact that experi enced help was not necessary. "Who'll volunteer to make but tons?" Mrs. G. A. Meyer, Mrs. T. L. Davis, Mrs. Harry Tukey and Miss lieulah Sharp responded. I hey were rushed to the factory in an automobile end were soon busily employed snap ping the pins into tne salvation Army buttons. They worked steadily for several hours and received 20 cent an hour and several sore thumbs. But their 20 cents an hour meant several hundred dollars an hour to the Sal vation Army, as the buttons sold for $1 apiece. During a lull in pin snapping, the women learned how celluloid buttons are made. Two young women were swiftly operating pressing and stamp ing machines. "I should think youd set brain fever doing that all day," remarked one of the women. 'We would if we had an brains. was the quick reply. Will Take Up War Work.

'Omaha. 334 Broadway, Council BlzSs GLADYS CALLAHAN. Life on the bounding billows is what Miss Gladys Callahan, one of the six yeomanettes at the naval re cruiting orhce in (Jniaha, is longing for. Working for the government and being permitted to wear a natty blue uniform with gold buttons on it and a beautifully embroidered emblem on the left sleeve, are not sufficient honor to Miss Callahan, who wants to drill just like the men and go on a big battleship as secretary to an officer. "But they won't take women on battleships any more and I suppose I will have to stick around on the land," she said. "It wouldn't be worth while only that I know I am releasing a man to fight," she added. Not all the yeomanettes are as ambitious as Miss Callahan, whose black eyes snap with excitement when she thinks of the wonderful possibilities of being a member of the crew of a real war vessel.
